Sackboy: A Big Adventure Special Edition - PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5

I bought this for my eight-year-old a play on launch day for the PS5 and he absolutely loves it,I bought three extra controller so my whole family can play

The soft plush is adorable! Haven’t played the game but the plush is worth it! Currently playing Miles Morales! Will play this soon!

I used to play LittleBigPlanet on my PS3 back in the day, and Sackboy is an awesome return to Craft World. This game is more story based, and does not feature the same level-designing, creative mode from previous LittleBigPlanet games. However, if you play couch co-op with a friend or via online, this can be a blast to play. The music, the colors, and everything look fantastic. Another nice thing is that if you plan to get a PS5 or currently own one, this PS4 copy comes with a free upgrade to the PS5 version via an online download. This special edition is also really cute. The Sackboy plush in his little tiger costume is adorable. Totally worth getting for this, plus the other in-game costumes that this edition comes with.

A very good, unique game which does have some quirks. The platforming is solid and among the better 3D outings for the genre. The control is responsive overall, but the developers settled on a very slow movement speed for sack boy which just strikes me as odd. Playing can feel quite sluggish at times. When I take a break from the game and come back from something peppier, it can be very frustrating. This game is best played in long stretches so your brain and reflexes can acclimate to the unusual design choices. Overall, played on PS4, the aesthetics and artwork are staggering, and frankly worth the play for that alone. Soundtrack is also excellent. Load times are a bit long on PS4 pro but manageable. Game has a fair amount of content but it’s not something that will entertain you for the next 3 months...plan on playing once, perhaps even to 100%, and then putting down for a long while. Extras in the special edition, even the plush, are overpriced at $30-$40 over base game, so don’t bother.

Chose this game for my PS5 launch game over Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. Graphics are amazing on 4K and HDR and gameplay is fun as well. Playing couch-coop with girlfriend and can get really intense at times on particular levels. Character customization is is fun with all the different costumes and mostly can be obtained through gameplay. 5-stars for the game but 4-stars for this because I was a little disappointed at the size of the plush. It's smaller than I expected. Packaging is misleading.

This is one I was on the fence about but I love platformers from the N64 Rare days so I thought I'd give it a try. I was beyond blown away by how much I enjoy this game. Great soundtrack, fun puzzles and challenges and an overall great experience. My daughter and I take turns playing it which is great to have her enjoy my oldest hobby/ interest.

If you have played Super Mario 3D World, you will feel at home in Sackboy: A Big Adventure. Diverse creative levels with a great look into the background. I recommend playing this in a party of 2-4 and skip playing solo. Between teamwork to create your own shortcuts and the shenanigan's of "accidentally" slapping and tossing teammates off the stage is half the fun. Try our Remote Share Play where only one person needs to own the copy. Upgrade to PS5 version was simple as telling the system to purchase the PS5 version, which it then downloaded the full PS5 version of the game. Make sure to stop the PS4 install or delete it to save on space.

I love sack boy and stuffed animals, so my only reason to purchase was for the toy and it did not disappoint. Oh the game is fun too.
